What customers say about "Key Specs"

Huawei MediaPad T5 10.1" Android 8.0 Tablet

This device is identical in physical size to a normal Ipad. Good screen size, too.
The large screen size is great for me.
I really liked this, it's quick and has a decent screen size.
Good resolution, easy to use, decent screen size.
Excellent tablet, simple to use, good size screen. Would highly recommend.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A (SM-T580) 10.1-Inch Android 6.0 Tablet

This tablet is a very good deal and works well. only thing I could say bad is it only has 16GB of storage but that's probably why such a good deal but u can always add a Mini SD in these to add more. I put a 32GB one in it.
I love the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1. I put my other one in a safe place. So safe I can't find it. The new tab A has a more elongated screen. I think it's a good thing for watching videos
This tablet ended up being the perfect size, I can bring it to class easily, and the expansion capabilities on it are very impressive.
Always liked Samsung and this is no exception. Fast, reliable with a great display and memory options [up to 200gb micro sd card].
Great tablet with good performance and screen.

Gets VERY SLOW after 4 months of my use (note that i don't install much apps, only use it for social media and Netflix).
I have experienced a few lags but I think that's us getting to understand each other, outside of that, really fast processing
I'm impressed how fast the processor is on this tablet compared to my old tablet. I've had this tablet for almost 2 months, use it everyday, and have not encountered any problems with it.
Very fast processor, great price and easily syncs with my Samsung products.
This processor Exynoss has a excellent performance, great tablet, fast and beutifull display.

What customers say about "Features"

Huawei MediaPad T5 10.1" Android 8.0 Tablet

Battery life is amazing. I had this at 100%.
Interface is lovely and intuitive. Feels like their EMUI skin tries to copy a lot from Apple's iOS.
Quick in menu and installing plus running apps. Easy.
The Huawei has worse sound, a bad camera, weak battery life.
Sound is terrible, lack any real volume.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A (SM-T580) 10.1-Inch Android 6.0 Tablet

One of the things the make me very happy is the long battery life.
My old tablet gave out completely so I purchased this tablet because it was similar. I am happy with it especially because the battery life is much longer and it is faster.
Two bottom firing speakers only (easily covered by hands when holding in landscape mode).
The charger gets dangerously hot. I only used twice and stopped using after I discovered there was an issue.
The Operating System should be upgradeable. You shouldn't have to purchase a new piece of hardware in order to take advantage of the Android operating systems available.
